My 13-year-old son is having ear pain, and he mentioned it hurts when he tilts his head down and up. I had to visit a chemist last night, and they gave him diclogem. I'm really concerned and unsure of what steps to take next. Could you please advise on what might be causing the pain and if this medication is appropriate for his age?

Throat pain while swallowing can be concerning.

Homeopathic remedies that may help:

  • Belladonna (for sudden, severe pain)
  • Lachesis (for pain on swallowing, especially liquids)
  • Phytolacca (for painful swallowing, with swollen tonsils)
  • Merc Sol (for throat pain with excessive saliva)

Consult a homeopathic doctor for personalized guidance and proper dosage.

Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

I've been noticing this clicking sound in my ear whenever I swallow, but there's no pain involved. I'm just curious if this is normal and happens to others too, or if it might indicate something's not right. Any insights?

I've had this white spot on my tonsil for a few days now, and whenever I touch it with a swab, it feels like a piece of rice comes out. It's happened a few times in the same spot, and even though I'm gargling with hot water and taking medicine, its not going away. I can feel something at the back of my mouth, but there isn't much pain. I've had tonsillitis since I was a kid, but this feels different. Plus, there's some pain in my ear. Could this be some kind of infection?

yes this could be recurrent tonsillitis if it is so better get it removed.visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
